At a nearby university ~ a campus with lovely bottle trees, one named after Gwendolyn Brooks outside the English department ~ I visited the Guggenheim Gallery Exhibit on the art of the page, which included digital art, hand-illustrated books, art books, furniture made out of paper, and hand-printed postcards.

I was also a guest at a dinner honoring Marjorie Perloff, who is donating her personal library to this university… what an impressive gift to avant-garde poets and literary critics alike!
